Two questions - cannabis oil & aspirin

Postby LKGower » Sun May 25, 2014 7:25 pm

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well :)

So I was just wondering, has anyone taken medical cannabis oil for pain relief??
I was looking into it for cure purposes (I'll try anything lol) but one of my oncologists said that I shouldn't touch the cannabis oil while on chemo. Could anyone share their experience??

Also, aspirin. What is the benefits of taking this for colon cancer? What does it actually do? I read a lot of people on here take it. But for how long? Cause can't it be damaging to the body if used for long period of times?! (Can't be any worse than chemo haha). What does it damage?

Thanks :)

Cannot speak to the cannabis oil - never tried it.

As for the aspirin... At my last appointment, my oncologist recommended that I start taking one aspirin daily. I'd never heard this before, but according to him, studies have shown that it can reduce the chances of a reoccurrence. Not sure what, if any, long term effects aspirin may have. Will have to research that some. But like you said, it can't cause any worse havoc than all the chemo did.

I used MJ during chemo to help with nausea, and it did a good job even at a dosage so low it didn't give much of a high (which I don't particularly enjoy.) I can't think why your onc said to stay off it during chemo, implying it might interfere with something or be dangerous...

HI Lisa,

So good to hear you, hope things are easing a little bit up.
About your question i can only answer on aspirin, as far i didn't try MJ yet (even if i would like, i currently don't have contacts to get it here in italy as it is illegal also for sick people).

Anyway, aspirin should be pretty safe but please discuss with your onc about the risk of perforation (meds like aspiring, and lots of painkillers might increase the risk of bowel bleeding or perforation). My onc told me that this only happens with high dosages or for a prolonged time.

So i think that it should be quite ok to take 1 aspirin a day.

Just to be sure talk freely to your onc.

I have looked into cannabis oil extensively, although hubby has not tried it.
I think the answers you seek may be found on this website. It is the largest conglomerate of information I found on the subject, with tons of clinical trials, studies, many SERIOUS links on the subject, testimonials, etc

I am not at chemo any more (my choice) and I have phentanyl patch and I take medical canabis oil, it is illegal here but we buy it from dealers of medical canabis oil. It helps a lot, I don't need any painkillers besides patch after I started with oiol. But I can not take as much as they say it had to be taken for cure, it is 1 gram/day and I ahve 1 gram at least 8 days (I take it 3 times a day against nausea - I am still nauseous for days, and as pain medication.
I don't take aspirin, I now take cimetidin/tagamet which I get from USA, so if I have a choice I will decide for cimetidine also.
